Towns contributed 27 points and 20 rebounds, while Jalen Brunson led the offense with 23 points. The Knicks avoided a second 0-4 start by a defending champion, preventing a dreadful start to the season. Cade Cunningham netted 19 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists for the Pistons, who had won the last six meetings in the regular season. The Knicks' dominant third quarter, where they outscored the Pistons 37-13, led to a 25-point cushion and the crucial victory.",
